hee! I saw that and thought you'd enjoy it!
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2010: Don't Let the Door Hit Ya...
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2010? We have a few words for you.

I think I have secret santa angst. On the buying side.

Hah! Me too.
Does anyone here do wishlists? I like the idea, but I wish there was some way to distinguish between "this thing exactly" and "something like this". It's challenging me on both the giving and receiving side this year.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Last year and this year I did a "nifty things" essay, explaining what and why, and also what definitely not and why. It also seems like a nice opportunity for "let me tell you about me" for family (and friends) I rarely see.

I use Amazon, but I also do a modified form of the Buffista list for my family and ask them to fill it out for me. Works pretty well.

I *finally* responded to the questions my Secret Santa asked me via elfster, so, if that's you, um, sorry to keep you waiting! I keep meaning to fill out the Deena database but haven't done it yet. Perhaps I will go do that right now!
Edit: OK, Deena database has been updated. That was fun!

Amazon has a comment section, so you can say things like "I just want a potato masher, doesn' have to be this one" or "I really want this color" or whatever.
